i THK OMAHA SUMIAl libfcit UtlUbbU A.IVZV. Girls Growing Up Too 1 Soon By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. "I went to high school for just iwo week, but because we hadn't any money I had to leave and go to work. I'm only IS, but I pass for 18 tnd sometimes for 20. Of course, this is unfortunate, but what most r, annoys me is mai so mucn nas oeen I expected of me that I have simply had to grow up in mind as well as " "Father buys me pretty and ex- ,r pensive clothes, but when I wear It them 1 feel as if I were some orna ment with a 'Please don't touch' sign on it. I want a good time like other girls but father is stubborn about it. It isn't my fault that I'm only 15. If 1 am big enough to leave school and go without education, something I wanted very much and till intend to have if I'm big enough to work, don't you think I'm .;lso big enough to have a little fun i'nce m u while?" So writes a girl we'll call Ray. There are plenty of "Rays" in the world. I know any number of pre cocious young girls who ought to be hiltlren and who have been forced by the thing called "economic pres sure" out into the world to earn their way. ' . - Poverty is a stern task-mistress. There are thousands of families in our city who haven't enough money on hand to keep things going. The children have to sacrifice their care free youth and their school days and I , come out into the arena to earn tneir Xhare toward the upkeep of a shabby llittle home. If It is a cruel necessity which drives J a girl of IS out into the world. No fw . -on tiln rpcrrcttinc the. shorten ing of childhood. Illusions and dreams and playtime are given to folks for a short enough time at best. t , 1 , But there's .nothing to be gamed bv fijthting the inevitable. When t poverty commands youth has to put down its toys and march out to take up the weapons of life. Now, then, why make bad mat ters worse? A little girl who toils all day over notebook or ledger needs a good night's rest to keep her youth fresh and dewey. It is bad enough for her parents to know that by day she's out "on her own," struggling in a world that can't help showing her a lot of ugliness and sordidness and meanness and downright bad- IV 1 But when night comes the parent r birds like to watch over the little one ("little" to them even it sne s five feet eight). They don t wan' to have her out in the night lite ot the city. They don't want to have her wearing herself out and rush ing about tn pursuit of gaudy, tin sel pleasure, with danger lurking ready to pounce on the youngster whev-thank fortune doesn't know all the dangers and pitfalls of lite like an ugly, smirchy book. "Good times" get to be an awful t ore to folks after awhile. . Think of all the tired, blase faces that go about the city's streets. Think ot all the folks who talk about envy- I i ig you your enmusiasnis, V4lArtDon;t they give you an idea of t he f t0 drain the cuo of life at one gulp? Don t they bring home to you the misery that comes from grabbing at things so greedily that after a time there s nothing left that seems worth the 8rTrulyf I don't believe a girl of IS is a good enough judge of men to be allowed to trot about with those she happens to meet at work or I through other youngsters. I don t think she has enough experience to enable her to measure how near neople come to meaning what tney say and saying what they mean. 1 tninn u t j"(s.'w-- - - . . her to try to top off her work with society. I think she ought to be a little girl after work hours, and watt for grown-upness to come and ban ish all trace of childhood and its beauty and dewy sweetness. i A Bride- The marriage of Mi.ss Clara E. Peterson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Petersen, and Walter F. Fischer of this city, will take place Sunday afternoon at the Trinity cathedral, Dean J. A. Tancock of ficiating.

The circulation is stimulated, and the entire body rejuvenated. Perfect control of the body must result from swimming.
